Best iPhone App for Skiers and Snowboarders, MotionX – GPS Tracking

MotionX is one of the best and most popular iPhone tools for outdoor enthusiasts, and can be used for hiking, cycling, running, kayaking, flying, sailing – and now skiing and snowboarding. Next time you hit the slopes, MotionX can enhance your mountain experience and hopefully make it more fun.

MotionX-GPS tracking let you know exactly where your friends and family are on the mountain via live position updates. This makes it easier for meeting up on the slopes and tracking each other. MotionX-GPS is also handy for tracking your vertical position and maximum speed. You can visualize your track on maps to see where you have skied and which runs you’ve missed.

“The MotionX app is my constant skiing companion,” said Eva Twardokens, MotionX spokesperson, Olympian and U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame inductee. “I use MotionX-GPS on my iPhone to track my skiing speed and to share my location and photos with friends and family. To make my experience even better, the live GPS updates feature allows me to quickly locate my friends on the slopes so we can spend more time skiing and less time waiting.”

The update adds support for Bluetooth Low Energy and ANT+ heart rate sensors, and includes Enhanced Voice Coaching with support for real-time heart rate feedback. It also features new interactive mapping that allows you to compare multiple tracks on the map at the same time, easily show or hide groups of your waypoints or tracks, and customize the look and feel with over 32 different color palettes.
